Some committee got together and made decisions....and so I need to bring a green veggie... Not a casserole, not a salad. I can always throw a huge can of drained and rinsed green beans in the Crockpot with chicken broth overnight.....but I'd rather do something a little more creative! Any ideas?

How about an edible Christmas tree? Picture is not mine -
I used styrofoam shaped like a tree - cover it with green saran wrap or foil. Set it on a plate & spread dip (like snow) around it.
Be creative with veggies - celery, peppers, cukes, parsley, broc., spinach leaves ...) I never did all green (can you sneak in some red cherry tomatoes or cauliflower for extra color?
For the top, cut a star shape out of cheese & roll in basil.
Enjoy watching the tree undecorating!

Fresh Brussels sprouts, cut in half and saute in some olive oil or butter, a little salt and pepper until slightly browned. Add to couscous or eat alone. Always a hit with my ladies club!
